Derrieres 2020 Quotes

#1. We were, each of us… at a crossroads of public and private dynamics which had brought us to this frame-worthy moment. I thought of the different currents and crosscurrents of history which had formed, merged, broken apart, and reformed to create the opportunity for us to give something essential to each other's lives. #Quote by Aberjhani

#2. We know there's social distancing. No need for the dramatic hand raise and exaggerated sidestep. That's just obnoxious. #Quote by Liz Faublas

#3. A developed India by 2020, or even earlier, is not a dream. It need not be a mere vision in the minds of many Indians. It is a mission we can all take up - and succeed. #Quote by Abdul Kalam

#4. The Hispanic population grew by 4.7 percent last year, while blacks expanded by 1.5 percent and whites by a paltry 0.3 percent. Hispanics cast 6 percent of the vote in 1990 and 12 percent in 2000. If their numbers expand at the current pace, they will be up to 18 percent in 2010 and 24 percent in 2020. With one-third of Hispanics voting Republican, they are the jump ball in American politics. As this vote goes, so goes the future. #Quote by Dick Morris

#5. By the year 2020 the largest employer in the developed world will be the self. #Quote by Nicholas Negroponte

#6. Night had fallen on Manta by the time we awoke and a cooling breeze was rustling the palm fronds of the tree outside our window. We could hear laughter below as the nightlife of Manta got underway. Girls dressed for clubbing were leaving the hotel hoping to have their world rocked after a night of dancing and wake up to discover he really was Prince Charming in disguise. In truth he would be the tatted-up, dumbed-down, self-involved bad-boy they'd been drawn to like a moth to a flame after several drinks, because he was the male mirror-image of them. The tap-tap of high-heeled shoes designed to accentuate the girls' derrieres sounded like an ancient tribal mating song being drummed out on concrete. #Quote by Bobby Underwood

#7. I don't know what will be left of me fifty years from now. I suspect that all films will have aged terribly and that the cinema probably won't even exist anymore. My guess is that the final disappearance of cinemas will take place around the year 2020, so in fifty years' time, there will be nothing but television. #Quote by Jean-Pierre Melville

#8. I have decided in 2020 to run for president. #Quote by Kanye West

#9. Between my generation and that of my students is an entire cohort of writers in their 30s and 40s. I think they've suffered most from the climate I'm describing. They prepared for their trade in the traditional way, by reading literature, learning something about history or foreign countries, training as reporters, and developing the habit of thinking in complexity. And now that they've reached their prime, these writers must wonder: Who's the audience for all this? Where did the broad and persuadable public that I always had in mind go? What's the point of preparation and knowledge and painstaking craft, when what the internet wants is volume and speed and the loudest voices? Who still reads books?

Some give in to the prevailing current, and they might enjoy their reward. Those who don't are likely to withdraw. The greatest enemy of writing today might be despair.

From a speech made in January 2020 on receipt of the 2019 Hitchens Prize, also printed as an essay in The Atlantic. #Quote by George Packer

#10. Review and question what you already know or have. In most ball sports and games, you confirm whether you have scored by checking whether the ball has gone into the goal or hit its target. So evaluation of results means that you must look at your goal to see if the ball has hit its target. Look at your educational aspirations or dreams and say "am I on track to meet my 2020 PhD target? #Quote by Archibald Marwizi

#11. People clinging to job security, savings, retirement plans, and other relics will be the ones financially-ravaged from 2010-2020, the most volatile world-changing decade in history. #Quote by Robert Kiyosaki

#14. We shouldn't just make a difference in people's lives, but we must learn how to accept differences. #Quote by Henry Johnson Jr

#15. Winning Expo 2020 marked the city's coronation and the world could no longer deny Dubai its rightful status as one of the era's more illustrious cities. The people who flocked there were looking for some sort of magic to occur in their lives, and life on the beach under these concrete gazebos offered many blessings. Some found riches. Some found religion. Some found love. And some, most importantly of all, found themselves. #Quote by Soroosh Shahrivar

#16. It never feels good if you don't reach all of your goals, neither in sport, nor in business nor in your personal life. But the key thing is to never give up, we have taken our learnings from 2014 and developed an exciting and promising strategy for the period up until 2020. #Quote by Herbert Hainer

#17. South Korea has set a goal that 100 percent of households should have domestic robots by 2020. #Quote by David N.L. Levy

#19. Democrats care about what's fair and true. Republicans only care about winning, no matter how much they have to lie and cheat. #Quote by Oliver Markus Malloy

#20. Let us, just for a moment, look at the implications of that 'distress'. Severe depression affects more than 120 million people worldwide and more than 5 million in the UK. By 2020, according to the World Health Organisation, it will be one of the world's most debilitating conditions, second only to heart disease. Is that distress? Or is it a major illness? The danger in polite euphemisms is that they drive the condition underground. I constantly see people struggling with severe depression, clamping down on the pain so as not to bother anyone. I know how they minimise both themselves and the severity of their struggle. Mute, pale shadows, they are gagged by polite euphemisms and by misunderstanding. #Quote by Sally Brampton

#21. I will take all the steps necessary to give the NHS at least another £100million per week by 2020. #Quote by Michael Gove

#22. By 2020 the U.S. will be short 91,000 doctors. There's no way we can educate enough doctors to make up that shortfall, and other countries are far worse off. #Quote by Peter Diamandis

#24. COVID-19 is the villain of 2020. #Quote by Steven Magee

#25. By 2020, Pakistan could have a fissile material stockpile sufficient to produce more than 200 nuclear weapons. #Quote by Anonymous

#26. We have raging fires in our souls with no one to stop by and warm themselves, though some may notice a wisp of smoke in the chimney as they pass. What can we do with this? Shall we tend this inner fire, "salt among ourselves" so to speak, and wait patiently - with such impatience - for that hour when those who feel inclined visit, sit, perhaps even stay? We who believe in God wait for that hour, trusting it will come sooner or later.
- Vincent van Gogh, June 1880

#27. For one, a modified vegetable oil that makes asphalt less likely to crack in the winter or turn to tar in the summer. Cargill started selling it two years ago and has already shipped 30 million pounds of the product around the world. The plan is to be selling 100 million pounds of it a year by 2020. Another big win could be soybean oil that can be tweaked into foam for car seats. #Quote by Anonymous

#28. By the year 2020, we envision our group to be the largest hotel developer in the Philippines, with a total portfolio of around 12,000 hotel rooms. #Quote by Andrew Tan

#29. The number of infections kept rising. By the end of March the US led the world in infections and deaths caused by the virus. What does Trump do? He refuses to wear a mask. He's not going to look like a weakling. Testing? Overrated. It increases the number of infections. Why doesn't the country have enough PPE and ventilators? Obama's fault. The President is in charge, but if there's any failure, it's the fault of governors and mayors. He keeps repeating his mantra, "The situation is under control." Pence's team will whip the virus. Or was it Jared's team? This virus isn't as bad as the flu. America always wins. Doesn't matter who or what the enemy is, we always triumph. We're going to kill that little bug. Those people wearing masks are doing it to spite me, Donald J. Trump, the greatest President in history. "The situation is under control."
But the deaths keep mounting. It surpasses annual deaths from auto accidents, 34,000. It surpasses US deaths in the Vietnam War, 58,000. Next, it's going to surpass total deaths of US soldiers in World War I, 116,500, and it's not going to stop there. #Quote by Jeffrey Rasley

#30. The grid is going to be a very different system in 2020, 2030. We keep thinking that we want it to be there and provide power when we need it ... Families will have to get used to only using power when it was available, rather than constantly. #Quote by Steve Holliday

#31. You're taught to "be grateful" for everything. But have you ever been taught to "be grateful" for yourself? In 2020, be grateful for yourself. Make that a promise. #Quote by C. JoyBell C.

#32. It (his contract) has options through the year 2020 or until the last Rocky movie is made. #Quote by Dan Quisenberry

#33. The postwar WWII GI Bill of Rights-and the enthusiastic response to it on the part of America's veterans-signaled the shift to the knowledge society. Future historians may consider it the most important event of the twentieth century. We are clearly in the midst of this transformation; indeed, if history is any guide, it will not be completed until 2010 or 2020. But already it has changed the political, economic and moral landscape of the world. #Quote by Peter Drucker

#34. If present rates of improvement continue, however, we would expect the cruising range of electric cars, for example, to intersect with the average range demanded in the mainstream market by 2015, and electric vechicle acceleration to intersect with mainstream demands by 2020. #Quote by Clayton M Christensen

#35. 2020 is the year of the bear market. #Quote by Steven Magee

#36. 2020 was the year of masks. #Quote by Steven Magee

#37. Some would say - don't strive for what cannot be achieved. But how do you know what can be achieved without trying?
Nor is it correct to say - Be happy with what you've got.
But should happiness depend on inferiority?


No, to my way of thinking expectations should align with ability. Therefore if one increases the ability to achieve higher goals by determination and perseverance, higher achievements will be the norm.

#42. We will achieve North America energy independence by 2020, by taking full advantage of our oil, our gas, our coal, our renewables and our nuclear power. Abundant, inexpensive, domestic energy will not only create energy jobs, it will bring back manufacturing jobs. #Quote by Mitt Romney

#43. Just three or four decades ago, if you wanted to access a thousand core processors, you'd need to be the chairman of MIT's computer science department or the secretary of the US Defense Department. Today the average chip in your cell phone can perform about a billion calculations per second. Yet today has nothing on tomorrow. "By 2020, a chip with today's processing power will cost about a penny," CUNY theoretical physicist Michio Kaku explained in a recent article for Big Think,23 "which is the cost of scrap paper. . . . Children are going to look back and wonder how we could have possibly lived in such a meager world, much as when we think about how our own parents lacked the luxuries - cell phone, Internet - that we all seem to take for granted. #Quote by Peter H. Diamandis
